Miami Heat

The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida, founded in 1988 as one of four new expansion teams. The Heat won the NBA championships of 2006, 2012, and 2013, five conference titles, and eleven division titles. From 2003 to 2016, Dwayne Wade was the team's greatest player, and he later joined forces with LeBron James and Chris Bosh, forming "The Big Three". From 1997 to 2000, the Heat played against the New York Knicks in four consecutive playoffs, leading to a rivalry developing between the two teams. The team also had rivalries with the Chicago Bulls, the Orlando Magic, the Boston Celtics, the Indiana Pacers, the Dallas Mavericks, and the San Antonio Spurs.
